PROM THE BEES LINCOLN BUREAU.l
The discussion regarding the proposed
Lincoln, Red Oak & Dcs Moincs railroad and
its promised benefits is becoming general,
and, by the time the bond election is held on
the 23d of the present month, u settled
opinion will be reached. The benefits prom
ised are sufficient TO answer any argument
against the bond, providing they can be as
Bured, and it is to the assurance given in the
proposition that the conservative men Of
means are giving their attention. The city
has had experience enough in its attempts to
secure competition that competes, for city
u hundred years old, instead of a place not
yet quite in its majority, and that men who
have passed through these many experiences
are wary Is but a natural consequence. In
discussing the road aud its promised benefits
there is now undoubtedly majority of the
citizens fairly favoring it, Many support it
as they would any other means that would
continue the boom that the city has enjoyed
the past year. Many go to the extent of saying
that even IL the reduced rates and competi-
ton should fail that the city would gain In
taxable property from the new corporations
all the bonds would cost, and the statement
il made that the other roads secured through
bonds have done that much for the city
There are many, however, who will take the
statement with grain of allowance, but in
the present age of pooling and transfers of
stock legally and illegally that is about the
only premise to figure upon.
well known citizen who favors the bonds
and who is in no way interested as an incor-
porator or prospective stockholder, states
that the guarantee is without weight in caus-
ing him to advocate the new road, but that
he believes that if new Chicago line is Sc
cured it is worth to Lincoln all it costs, re-
Rardless of the question of lower rates. 1t
looks as though conclusions of this character
VIII decide the question when the vote is
taken. AS utterly opposed to voting aid the
numbers thus far developed are so few as
TO excite little or no attention
The projectors of the road evidently
except to win the election on the representa-
tions of an assured river rate, but in the long
pointed will be those who will extend aid for
new road to the city, simply as another
railroad, and nothing more, Tho guarantees
nre truly great, but guarantee OF such
strength on paper never yet has been full
filled to the letter in Lincoln or in any other
place, and history has habit of repetition
Unmarked by single line eofdemarkation.
... WEST LISCOLN MARKET.
There was u noticeable increase in hogs on
the West Lincoln market the past week and
the price was gilt edged on account of the
scarcity prevailing. The receipts for the

were 400 and they were quickly sold ut prices
with one of the stockmcn at the West Lin
coin yards he stated that the packers wanted
at least !, 500 head per day and that Q, 900 each
week on the market would command gilt
edge prices.
